mimic'ed from XENIX file locking mechanisms. Otherwise it might implement
a low level lock to avoid CPU contention as the machine you describe needs
to coordinate work among more than one CPU.
I'm sure. I've the man-page for lkdata() and unlk()
#include <sys/lockblk.h>
long lkdata (fildes, flag, lkblk);
int fildes, flag;
struct lockblk *lkblk;
long unlk (fildes, flag, lkblk);
int fildes, flag;
struct lockblk *lkblk;
in the eastern germany english was not teached (or very rarely) so many
things - even in the world of the computers - where kept in german - so
did the man pages.
I can post the man-page link but your german isn't probably that good ;)
